Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a cadmium anode that permits a high rate of usage by adding a specified amount of indium or indium compound to a cadmium anode, thereby improving the capacity of the anode. CONSTITUTION:The anode is composed of cadmium hydroxide as the main active material, and cadmium metal, indium or indium compound as auxiliary materials for charging. The amount of indium or indium compound added is 0.01 - 5.00wt% calculated in terms of indium in relation to the active cadmium. If the cadmium anode containing indium or indium compound is charged and discharged in alkaline electrolytic solution, therefore indium atoms are substituted in cadmium metal crystals. This causes lattice defects, making the crystals unstable. The electrochemical reaction is thereby enhanced, producing cadmium metal with a high rate of usage and increasing the rate of usage of the electrode itself.

(b) Prior Art As cadmium cathodes used in nickel-cadmium storage batteries, etc., non-sintered cadmium cathodes such as paste-type cadmium cathodes, which have a simple manufacturing process and are low in manufacturing cost, are widely used industrially. This type of cadmium cathode is made by kneading an active material such as cadmium oxide powder or cadmium hydroxide powder with a paste solution, applying the paste to the conductive core and filling it, then drying and chemical conversion treatment. After application, it is manufactured by washing with water and drying, but since the binding force between the active material and the conductive core is weak, the active material peels off or falls off during the chemical conversion process, etc., and therefore the charge/discharge cycle is shortened. There are drawbacks such as large capacity deterioration.

It has been proposed that by using a paste-type cadmium cathode, the chemical formation step in the paste-type cadmium cathode is substantially unnecessary, thereby preventing battery capacity deterioration as the charge/discharge cycle progresses.
